Is Pinterest Save Button safe?
Pinterest Save Button lets webpages trigger visual-search uploads of page images to Pinterest.
When the extension injects its hover controls on pages, it listens for ordinary mouseover and click events and does not require a trusted user event before starting visual search. A page can trigger those events on an image, and the extension sends the image data to api.pinterest.com for visual search. For signed-in users who meet Pinterest's measurement gate, it also rewrites ct.pinterest.com/v3 conversion-tracker requests to add the Pinterest user ID.
